52 SOUTH CAROLINA COLLEGE. 

Offences. • 3. Offences are any acts, omissions, or habits, unfa- 
vourable to the peculiar duties of a student, or incom- 
patible with the obligations of morality and religion, or 
inconsistent with the propriety, decorum or courtesy, 
which should always characterize the gentleman. As 
the end of the College is to train a body of gentlemen in 
knowledge, virtue, religion and refinement, whatever has 
a tendency to defeat this end, or is inconsistent with it, 
shall be treated and punished as an offence, whether ex- 
pressly mentioned in the laws or not. The sense of de- 
cency, propriety and right, which every honourable 
young man carries in his own bosom, shall be taken as a 
sufficient means of knowing these things, and he who 
pleads ignorance in such matters is unfit to be a member 
of the College. The Board expects and requires the stu- 
dents to maintain the character of refined and elevated 
Christian gentlemen. It would be ashamed of any man, 
who would excuse breaches of morality, propriety and 
decorum, on the plea, that the acts in question were not 
specifically condemned in the College code. It earnestly 
desires that the students may be influenced to good con- 
duct and diligence in study by higher motives than the 
coercion of law ; and it mainly relies, for the success of 
the institution, as a place of liberal education, on moral 
and religious principle, a sense of duty and the generous 
feelings which belong to young men engaged in honour- 
able pursuits. 

4. Students may be arraigned for offences on the fol- 

On what lowing grounds : The marks of the monitors ; the report 

grounds stu- of an officer of the College ; credible information, im- 

summoneY be- Parted to the Faculty from any quarter, giving rise to 

fore the reasonable suspicion ; circumstantial evidence, giving 

Faculty, ^.-g^ ^^ ^ presumption of guilt ; and in the case of violence 
or injury to their own persons, upon the report of ser- 
vants. No student, however, shall ever be convicted 
except upon his own confession, tacit or express, or full 
and satisfactory proof. 
In what cases 5. One Student shall never be required to give in- 
^tudentstogivefopujatioj^ agaiust another, except when riotous or disor- 
against each derly conduct shall take place in a student's room. In 
other. that case, the occupant, if he were present at the time, 
shall be bound to indicate the true offender, or be con- 
sidered as assuming the guilt of the offence, and be

In tlie House of Representatives, Dec. 13, 1815. 

1. The Committee on Public Buildings, to whom was re- 
ferred the message No. 4, of his Excellency the Grovernor, 
communicating the report of the Trustees of the South 
Carolina College, stating the injury sustained to the 
Chemical apparatus and Philosophical instruments, for 
want of proper and commodious apartments for contain- 
ing the same. Report, That they have had the same 
under consideration, and carefully viewed the rooms ap- 
propriated in the South Carolina College for Chemical, 
Optical and Philosophical experiments, and find that, 
from their inconvenient and contracted size, and impro- 
per aspect, the object of the Legislature, who, at con- 
siderable expense, have appointed and endowed Pro- 
fessors of Chemistry and Astronomy, is nearly defeated 
for want of proper apartments for exhibiting experi- 
ments for the illustration of these important sciences, 
and that the Chemical apparatus, and Astronomical 
instruments procured for the College, at great expense, 
are very much injured from the contiguity of the expe- 
riments made with fire and gases, many of which are, in 
their nature, corroding and destructive to the metals of 
which the instruments are in a great measure composed. 
Your Committee, therefore, on a principle of sound 
economy, recommend that a suitable building be erected 
on a proper site, detached from the other buildings of 
the College, for the accommodation of the departments 
of Chemistry, Astronomy and Optical experiments : and 
that six thousand dollars be appropriated for this pur- 
pose, and that the Trustees of the South Carolina Col- 
lege be appointed to carry the same into efi"ect. 

Resolved, That this House do agree to the report.

which was referred that part of the Governor's Message ^^ii<ii°gs. 
in relation to an appropriation for the erection of two 
Professor's houses, and the enlargement of those already 
built, beg leave to submit the following report : The 
Trustees of the College, having determined to abolish 
the Tutorships for the purpose of having the two 
under classes instructed entirely by able Professors, 
found it necessary to establish additional Professorships, 
so that there are now seven Professors including the 
President, and there are only five houses or tenements, 
it is therefore absolutely necessary to have two addition- 
al buildings or tenements, and to make an appropriation 
for that purpose. In relation to the enlargement of the 
houses already built, your committee are not satisfied as 
to the practicability of the plan, or the necessity of the 
enlargement. Your committee therefore respectfully 
recommend that an appropriation of ten thousand dol- 
lars, if so much be necessary, be made for the erection 
of two Professor's houses or tenements. And that an 
appropriation of six hundred dollars be made for the rent 
of two houses for two Professors, during the ensuing' 
year.

exercise, all means provided by the existing laws, to ex- 
terminate from the town of Columbia and its vicinity, 
bawdy houses, gambling houses, and other similar nui- 
sances, calculated to vitiate the morals, pervert the 
minds, and destroy the health of the young men com- 
mitted to their charge : and should existing remedies be 
found, on full experiment, inefficacious, then that they 
consider of and report to the Legislature at its next ses- 
sion, such changes or amendments in the law as to them 
may seem expedient and necessary to accomplish the 
object. 

Be it also resolved^ That the Intendant and "Wardens, 
and the citizens generally, of Columbia, are earnestly 
entreated, as they value the great interests of morality 
and religion, the decencies of life, the health and gene- 
ral welfare of their community, and the character espe- 
cially of the important institution established in their 
bosom, to co-operate, by their example, and by such local 
legislation as they may deem practicable, to suppress 
these most disgraceful and corrupting nuisances.

for 
Colleo 



SOUTH CAROLINA COLLEGE. 

which was referred the communication of the President 
of the Board of Trustees of the South Carolina College, 
in relation to an appropriation for College buildings and 
so forth, having had the subject under consideration, beg 
leave to submit the following Report: The College buildings 
buildings were originally intended and constructed for 
the accommodation of ninety-six students ; four rooms in 
the centre buildings have been appropriated to the ac- 
commodation of students ; so that, at this time, one hun- 
dred and four students can be conveniently accommo- 
dated; nor can a greater number be accommodated 
without putting three students in one room, an arrange- 
ment utterly subversive of all studious habits, as every 
one of experience and practical knowledge on this sub- 
ject must know, to say nothing of the inconvenience and 
unhealthfulness of it. There are now, between one hun- 
dred and forty and one hundred and fifty students in 
the College, and, in all probability, the annual average 
nuroiber will be at least one hundred and fifty. The 
Legislature must therefore either subject the students in 
the College to an arrangement not only inconvenient 
and unhealthful, but totally inconsistent with all habits 
of study, or else say to the people of the State, that 
they cannot send more than one hundred and four stu- 
dents to College, or else make the appropriation of 
twenty-five thousand dollars. 

The hall containing the College Library is entirely 
too small and inconvenient, nor can it be enlarged to 
any advantage whatever in the same building : but one 
of the principal reasons for the removal of the Library,"" - 
is its proximity to the laboratory, which rende^'^ it entirely 
unsafe; your committee, therefore, recommend an ap- 
propriation of fifteen thousand dollars for the erection of 
a Library-hall. 

Every one acquainted with the College Library, must 
be fully satisfied of its deficiency, more especially in 
standard English works, on Moral and Litellectual Philo- 
sophy and on Divinity ; but without undertaking to indi- 
cate to the Trustees what sort of books shall be pur- 
chased, your committee recommend an appropriation of 
five thousand dollars for that purpose. 

The commons-hall is not sufficient to accommodate 
one hundred and fifty students, nor can it be conve- 
niently enlarged in any other manner than by convert- 
ing the second story to one or more halls for the accom- 
modation of the students, in which case it would become 
necessary to make some provision for the steward and

74 SOUTH CAROLINA COLLEGE. 

his family ; a very convenient and cheap house and lot 
can he purchased for that purpose; and your committee 
recommend an appropriation of five thousand dollars, for 
alterations and repairs in the steward's house and com- 
mons-hall, and purchase of a house and lot for the 
, steward. 

Your committee are satisfied that it will require an 
appropriation of about ten thousand dollars to cover 
other repairs and necessary expenditures, some of which 
have been already incurred. 

Your committee, therefore, respectfully recommend an 
appropriation of the foregoing sums, amounting to sixty 
thousand dollars, for the above mentioned purposes. 

Resolved, That the Senate do agree.

11. The Committee on Education, to which was re- ^^^^^ ^p^p^^^^p^^^^^^ 
ferred Message No. 6, of his Excellency, the Governor, brary. 
beg leave to report : That they have had the same 
under consideration, and are of opinion that the best in- 
terests of the College require that its Library should be 
gradually and progressively increased. The present 
Library, though well selected, is comparatively small 
and incomplete. It affords, however, a nucleus around 
which may be gathered a collection of books which will 
in time constitute a Library, that will confer the highest 
benefit on the College, and do honour to the institution, 
and the character of the State. 

The committee are- of opinion, that the best mode of 
increasing the Library, is by making a small annual ap- 
propriation, and adding thereto the surplus of the tui- 
tion fund remaining in the hands of the Treasurer of 
the College, after defraying all the expenses with which 
that fund is now charged. 

Your committee therefore recommend the adoption of 
the following resolution : 

Resolved, That the sum of two thousand dollars, to- 
gether with the surplus of the tuition fund, be annually 
appropriated for the increase of the College Library ; 
the same to be drawn and expended under the authority 
and direction of the Board of Trustees. 

Resolved, That the House do agree to the report.
